Brief Title: Predictive Factors for Complete Myoma Resection During Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
Official Title: A Retrospective Study for Developing a Nomogram for Predicting Change of Complete Myoma Resection During Hysteroscopic Myomectomy
Study ID: NCT04400942
Brief Summary: The aim of this observational retrospective analysis is to evaluate predictive factors for complete myoma resection during hysteroscopic myomectomy for developing and validating a nomogram. This tool can help clinicians to support the patient in making an informed decision about therapeutic options for uterine submucous myomas by defining risk factors predicting a high complexity myomectomy.
Detailed Description: Overall, 10% of all uterine myomas are submucosal. These myomas spread into the uterine cavity, lifting the endometrial mucosa, and are a common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, early miscarriage and they may be a cause of infertility. Hysteroscopic myomectomy is the surgical procedure of choice for the treatment of submucosal myomas, because it is minimally invasive and has the advantage of preserving the integrity of the uterine wall. The characteristics of the myomas (size, number and location) enables the surgeon to choose the surgical approach that will provide the best outcome for the patient, and may predict the chances of a complete hysteroscopic resection of myomas in one procedure.
